Abstract
A system and method for adjusting a field of view in a camera of an electronic device are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes an image capturing device; a sensor data interface to receive sensor data from at least one orientation-determining device; and an adaptable field of view (FOV) subsystem in data communication with the sensor data interface, the adaptable FOV subsystem being configured to modify the field of view of the image capturing device based on an orientation or operational mode of an electronic device associated with the sensor data.
